PH-PBY (BuNo. 2459) was built in 1941. It is the oldest surviving PBY-5A. But not only that, it is also the top-scoring allied antisubmarine aircraft of any type or nationality to emerge from World War II. This PBY destroyed U-464, U-582 and U-194. A fourth German submarine, U-528, was heavily damaged. The aircraft is owned and flown regularly by the Catalina PH-PBY Foundation at Lelystad Airport, the Netherlands.
